Addressing Common Issues in Senior Dentistry
Changes in seniors' oral health, like reduced saliva flow, weakened enamel, and thickened tooth roots, can create environments within your oral structure where bacteria can thrive. This increases your vulnerability to problems like widespread tooth decay and gum disease. While these scenarios can lead to serious dental problems, our team works hard to help you avoid them entirely or offers proven treatments to minimize their impact on oral health.
Restorative Dentistry For Seniors
Missing or damaged teeth can impact your smile's function and aesthetics. Our extensive restorative dental treatments aim to revitalize your smile, improve your long-term oral health, and enhance your overall quality of life. One of the unique aspects of our restorative dentistry for seniors is our CEREC machine, which can deliver beautiful, durable restorations in just one appointment. Whether you're getting a traditional bridge or a CEREC same-day crown, you can rest assured you'll get a beautiful restoration built to last.
